#like really Jimin no offense to you but what was that exactly?

[faceglitchsworld]

I think we can finally say that BTS' Hyung line is literally outlining the Maknae line right?

And that maybe at this point they're the only one that should keep doing music, right?

[mrs-monaghan]

Hello Shaz

I would love to hear your opinion on 3D and all the talk around it

My thoughts on the talk around it is; "wow, well this is a load of garbage" (no offence to any friends I may have who don't like the song I just disagree that its a terrible song)

Alright. 3D. Let's talk. My thoughts. First, what's with the fucking homeless trousers??

I hate rich people 😭😭😭😭 if I wear this people will wonder why I didn't go back home to change after I fell in mud 😪

Anyhu, before i even say a thing. We should probably all try to remember that JK said this

(Thanks @chicknbunny13)

Yeah sure, even if he doesn't write a song, he may resonate with it. But not everything he does is a reflection of his actual life. This one, is for the Jikook antis btw. This is why my anons are still off. People, I dont have the energy for antis rn. JK sang 'girl' so what? This topic is super old and tired and consider it officially retired from this blog. I'm sooooo over it 🥱🥱🥱🥱

Now that we have that out of the way let's tackle the fact that our JK is a grown, grown adult. I don't need to bring back the live where he told people he's an adult and he is almost 30 and he will do what he wants to do. And if he wants to sing about this, that's exactly what he will sing about.

Oh my,

Even Jimin knows all about it

Tweet

BAHAHAAHAHAHA!!!

Let is be known i am choosing to take that sentence literally. I think JK just means him, the girl, with champagne and confetti. I really don't think it means anything else here. But, seeing as this is another sex song, I won't put it past him.

Anyone else notice a recurring theme here?

Okay then. 😳

Also shout out to this random kid with the horse

I can't be the only one who has no clue what his point was 😂😂😂

While we are on the champagne topic,

I mean....

Make no mistake, SEVEN and 3D are singing about the same thing. If SEVEN was in your face, 3D is subtle. But they are both just talking about sex here. Which is why it doesn't make sense to me why people are so upset??? As a person who likes Harlow and has heard his songs before, this did not shock me one bit. There is nothing wrong with this song. It is meaningless and shallow but guess what, thats the type of music the GP is listening to rn. I understand why Asians have an issue with this line

And I can respect that. I don't have to understand it, but if Asians say its offensive, then its offensive. In which case I think that's just ignorance on Harlow's part. The people behind the song and JK himself are not going to okay something degrading. So it is of my opinion that people are reading too much, way too much into something that aint even meant to be deep.

It's a song, about sex. The only thing deep about it, is the holes that will be getting penetrated.

This song doesn't require to be analysed. Okay, maybe when trying to decipher the analogies being used but that's it. JK has one agenda and one agenda only; release music that the general public will devour, get his name out there and be a huge pop star. And it is working.

Cue Boracity's new video about each member and who their target audience are for each solo project

JK did not write these songs. If he did I'm sure they would have more meaning. But that's not what he's aiming for rn. Right now the man just wants to put out something that he knows will sell. Wants to put out something that will be a hit. And 3D is exactly that. Just like SEVEN. Mans was asked for the meaning of the song and by his answer, I'm not sure even he knows.

What??

Did anyone understand that???? If you did, break it down for me coz I did NOT understand that 😂😂

This song has no meaning. Its shallow, catchy, easy to remember and move to. Enough with trying to complicate shit! It ain't that deep. Period.

JK cared more about the choreo.

While Jack is calling himself a whore for wanting 4 women, JK is busy dancing throughout. So I will listen to JK and enjoy the song and choreo. Because there is nothing in the lyrics and there was never intended to be.

Idk why y'all mad when we stan a consent king:

Personally I dont have time to be angry because 1) i see no reason to be, and 2) i am too busy admiring JK's body proportions 🤤🤤

Damn, Jimin's man is hot!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[7ndipity]

BTS reaction to you (their s/o) being called "the worst teacher they have even seen." Let's say that they're waiting for you, and you tell him to wait a little longer so that you can talk to the parent, and then they hear that.

Here's a link to the scene: youtu(.)be/wwQQMcNNXtM

(Take out the parenthesis 🥺💜)

Someone insults teacher S/O

Ot7 x Reader

Warnings: swearing, lil angsty, not proofread

A/N: Thank you the request! I hope you like them!

Masterlist

Requests are open

°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•

Seokjin: I feel like he would try not to get involved, solely because if he does, he's going to cause a scene and he knows that's the last thing you need at that moment. He tries to focus on you instead and making sure you're okay and making you feel better.

Yoongi: He doesn't get involved, because he knows it's not exactly his place and you can stand up for yourself, but God does he want to. Makes an effort to be extra soft the rest of the day to try and make up for you having to deal with shitty parents like that.

Hobi:(His dad's a teacher, so he takes extra offense) It takes every ounce of his self control to not say anything right then, but if looks could kill, they'd be gone, cause the glare he gives them as they leave is enough to send shivers up your spine. Does everything he can for the rest of the day to make you smile and forget about it.

Namjoon: No, you know this man is not about to stand by and listen to someone talk about his s/o like that. He would put them in their place and fast, saying how they had no right to speak to you that when you're just doing your job. Very apologetic but comforting afterwards.

Jimin: He's honestly so stunned that someone would be that rude to you that he kinda freezes, not really knowing what to do. Afterwards, he just wants to make sure you're okay, continually reminding you that he thinks you're an amazing teacher.

Taehyung: Desperately wants to tell them off, demanding who they think they are to say that about you, but he knows that it would make things worse, so he bites his tongue and settles for glaring as they leave like Hobi and then focuses on comforting you.

Jungkook: Knows he shouldn't get involved, but he is so protective of you that he has to walk away for a second or else he's gonna cause a scene. (He's not above 'accidentally' tripping them as they leave tho. He knows it's childish, doesn't care.)

BTS As Your Best Friends

I was feeling inspired by my BTS As Your Boyfriend series, and I wanted to give yall a cute little friend moment! 💕

Comtains: Fluff, that's about it lmao

This is only with the maknaes, but the others will come soon!

°+~♡~+°

Jungkook-

THIS MAN....

Devious asf 💀💅

He actually will not shut his fucking mouth, bro will call you up at 4 in the morning to talk to you about how his day went

Lowkey invites himself to your place unapologetically

Very juvenile, in a good way. Like sleepovers with snacks and movies and pillow forts

THE GOSSIP KING 👑

And he will fill you in on all the bangtan tea

He's the type to make pinky promises not to tell after he talks hella shit abt someone 💀

Not that he talks hella shit that much, but the occasion that it happens, expect a lot to come out of his mouth.

Very good listener tho, if you actually have an issue, he's gonna be there for you

Definitely tells you way too much about his dating life...

He also falls asleep on you, so get used to it. he's an affectionate bitch, what can he say? And with all the sleepovers yall are having, he can't help it

Okay but tell me why I think he'd love playing hair salon with you 👀

One of his downsides as a friend is that he's a fucking celebrity and has a shit ton of other people to interact with and other places to go

So don't expect too much from the poor guy, he's got a lot on his plate.

Recently we found out that he vapes, so he for sure needs a vape buddy

ALSO

He is SO GOOD at dating advice

Whoever you're into, he will be right there planning your wedding on a pinterest board.

Expect lots of singing in the car

In all, jaykay is fucking hyper but he's a great bestie to have

Taehyung-

Tae is your deep ass convo kinda guy

Like yeah, he's fun asf, but damn he's just built to talk about deep shit with you

If any of these friendships are likely to turn into relationships, it's gonna be with Tae

He just loves love 😭

And honestly, as he should

And I'm not saying that you return the feelings, but you are the one reading a Bts imagine on tumblr... 🤷‍♀️

Besides the fact that he lowkey has a crush on you, you'll probably be at his house more than your own

I can see him just talking and talking for hours on end with his bestie while you chill on the couch with a TV show playing in the background

Probably has a cute nickname for you

Like if you're short, he calls you shorty. And if your cute, he calls you cutie.

IDK MAN IM BAD AT THIS 💀💀💀

But he'll come up with something cute

Your contact name in his phone will probably be something along the lines of "my wife" or "wifey"

Or smth stupid like that just bc he likes you 💀

And he won't tell anyone either, he just unironically talks about you all the time, nothing suspicious 👀

Expect chaos when he's drunk tho

He goes WILD

It's fun though, seeing him being smiley and not contemplating the complexities of life to you

Your man is weird asf but you gotta love him

Jimin-

Someone needs to calm him down and give him a massage or smth

Because when I tell you...

JIMIN IS THE FLIRTIEST HOE EVER

He doesn't even like you, it's just jimin being jimin

Very sweet tho 🥺

He seems kinda awkward about giving advice bc he doesn't know exactly what to say, but he'll listen really good

Also, no offense to jimin, but he's a mess.

He's so caring that he likes someone new every other day istg

And he'll tell you all about it and it's the cutest thing ever watching him have so much love for so many people

May or may not have mid-life crises during the night and come over to drink alcohol and pour his heart out to you

He's a people pleaser so be a good friend and encourage him or compliment him a lot

He will most likely flirt with you in return but it secretly makes him feel reassured so just take one for the team

Probably will give you fashion advice tbh

And he's an icon so you let him do his thing

I think he'd like doing things like drawing or painting or dancing as an activity with you

Like it's fun to do, but it's quiet enough for him to talk about his problems

This is so sad but I feel like he projects a very happy image but he doesn't always feel it inside

He may struggle with self image and dependence on others

So he needs you to be his anchor to hold him down and tell him he'll be alright

And he'll do the same for you, don't worry.

°+~♡~+°

Hope you enjoyed! The hyung line version is coming soon! 💕

My requests are open 😘

[eoieopda]

jade. my soulmate. co-parent of our brain cell. the time has come—i have worked up the courage to send you a request.

i am thinking of the absolute love of my life park jimin. like estranged friends to lovers (not necessarily bad blood, just time and life caused distance between them)? fluffy like so fluffy but a hint of angst if you squint?? perhaps song inspo ‘find me here’ by hayley williams???

love u, sending this made me NERVOUS LMAO

OH, BINCH, I AM READY.

As the saying goes, two things in life are inevitable: death and taxes. As far as Park Jimin is concerned, that list is non-exhaustive, woefully incomplete. It fails to account for the one thing he knows is certain.

When he left his apartment that morning, Jimin didn’t necessarily expect to run into you. The Google calendar you once shared had been out of commission for nearly a year; and your paths hadn’t crossed in the meantime. He had no reason to know that your plans for the day included sitting riverside, sipping coffee, and watching the water. Despite that fact, it doesn’t surprise him to find you there now.

It just makes sense.

You’re daydreaming when Jimin sits down next to you. He gets so caught up in that thoughtful crease between your eyebrows that he forgets to make his presence known for more than a few minutes. You don’t even jump when he eventually decides to speak rather than stare. Finding him doesn’t seem to be a shock to you, either.

“Hey,” you sigh as if you’re relieved, and you are all smiles.

Jimin echoes your greeting in that same, soft tone, and it’s easy, like the last time he said it wasn’t twelve months ago. He’s grateful for that — for the lack of theatrics. It isn’t a dramatic reunion; there’s no gasp, no tears, no oh my gods. There’s you and him, falling into lockstep without so much as a stumble.

Glancing down at the travel mug in your hands, Jimin confirms that he knows exactly what he’s looking at. Right above your thumb, he finds the accidental dent you made in the metal when you knocked it off his kitchen counter two years earlier. The sight of it has him warm all over.

He doesn’t have to guess that it’s full of the medium roast from that café up the street, but he does have to ask: “One shot of espresso, or two?”

You grimace and Jimin knows exactly what that look means.

Eyes wide with mirth, he snorts, “Three? Shit. Don’t tell me you’re still staying up until sunrise.”

“Excuse you,” you gasp in feigned offense, swatting playfully at his bicep. Thank god some things never change. “I’ll have you know that I went to bed at midnight last night like a responsible adult!”

Jimin makes a big show of rubbing the spot where the back of your hand collided with his jacket. He relishes the way you roll your eyes at him for doing so. “Responsible is debatable, but I’ll concede that — for you — midnight is impressive.”

“I know, right?” you snicker. There’s a beat, then you blink at him expectantly. “Please clap.”

With your face lit up like that, how could he not?

“Proud of you,” He chuckles as you bow through his applause. And he means it, he really does. Sleep never came naturally to you, yet here you are, willingly going to bed before the moon does.

When it grows quiet again, that feels easy, too. It’s just as comfortable as it ever was, sitting silently next to you. Jimin realizes now just how much he’s missed this. Missed you, missed existing on the same page.

In any other circumstance, with anyone else, Jimin would feel obligated to keep the conversation going. He’d volley small talk until he was exhausted; fill every lull and refuse to let the mood hit the floor. Social interactions have always felt like endurance exercises — but not with you. Not then, and thank god, not now.

You’re looking straight ahead, shoulder leaning ever-so-slightly into his, when you eventually do speak. “Thank you.”

Now, Jimin is surprised.

“I don’t think I said it before I left, so I need to say it now,” you quietly answer before he can ask.

You turn to look at him and find that his eyes are already trained on you. It’s hard to put a finger on it, but there’s more of you now than there was the last time Jimin saw you. The glow you used to have — the one that had started to dim — was back, brighter than ever.

Happiness looks good on you, he thinks.

“I don’t think I would’ve gotten my shit together if it wasn’t for you,” You sigh. Then, you slot your fingers into the spaces between his without any hesitation at all. “I needed to — like, really needed to — but I wouldn’t have seen it if you didn’t point it out.”

Jimin squeezes the hand he didn’t want to let go of in the first place. It would’ve been selfish of him to cling to it back then, but it was a gamble not to. He threw in all his chips and hoped that you were the boomerang he thought you were; that you’d come back to him when you were ready.

You were, and are, a safe bet — one he’d take every single time — so Jimin gambles again.

He leans in slowly and you lean, too. Even though it’s the first time, the way you kiss him back feels natural.

Inevitable.

New day, same shit, same fandom

From the moment you come into this fandom one of the first things you learn is that the main "enemy" of BTS is kpoppies or fans of other K-pop groups; what no one tells you and what you have to learn on your own is that Jimin's main enemy is their own fandom.

Generalisations are never good, but for the sake of this conversation, I'll talk about fandom in general with the understanding that not everyone in it thinks or acts this way.

When hickey-gate happened or we learned about it the fandom collectively didn't know how to act. Everyone concluded that what Jungkook had on his neck was really a hickey and that it was Jimin who did it - the reasons each fan believed were different.

That day was funny because everyone, with a few exceptions, couldn't justify what they saw, what Jimin and Jungkook showed us and what they told us, but deep down we know that many didn't like it and were uncomfortable with what it possibly meant. I know and many of us know that many were dying to o7ify that hickey and today in a way they managed to do so.

In today's Wlive Joon clearly had a hickey on his neck, he tried to hide it, downplay it and in the end, gave a not-so-plausible explanation, but that's what he said and we have to respect it, the problem is what happened afterwards or the reaction of the fandom. Their chance to o7ify that moment between Jimin and Jungkook finally came. This time, in the form of " jokes".

Many immediately came out tweeting that that hickey was obviously done by Jimin because we all know he's a biter. Others said that Jimin probably does the same thing to all members or that he has given every member a hickey, that's his thing! Some said. At the end of every tweet or in a different tweet they make the disclaimer that it was all a "joke".

All of us who have been paying attention know of the thousand and one hurtful, offensive and cruel narratives that the subgroup has raised against Jimin, one of them being that Jimin is basically a slut that members pass off on each other and these "jokes" that many are making today only perpetuate that narrative.

It's frustrating how those people don't understand how offensive those "jokes" are and it's frustrating how their arrogance doesn't make them understand why many of us are upset and it's frustrating how they don't understand that those jokes give more validation to the subgroup to keep saying stupid things about Jimin.

Joon at no point mentioned Jimin, but somehow they concluded that it was Jimin who did it to him. It's funny how many in this fandom get offended when someone even hints that another member is lgtbi+ but has no problem joking about Jimin in that context.

It's frustrating how many in this fandom still have this misconception about who Jimin really is and don't understand that Jimin is the most respectful member of BTS. And that's something I won't argue with anyone. Jimin knows boundaries, he knows where to stop and unlike what many want to believe, he doesn't behave with all members the same way he behaves with Jungkook. And no, this is not me trying to make it all about JiKook, this is about telling many of you that you don't really know Jimin.

The most frustrating thing about this is that several jikookers and vminkookers also made "jokes" about this. They are also normalising behaviour in the fandom in relation to Jimin which is toxic and dangerous, and that is frustrating. Once again I wonder why the aversion against Jimin? why the fear towards jikook?

A few days ago the subgroup demonized Jimin's donation to UNICEF for the affected children in Türkiye (Turkey) and Syria and no one did anything. Interesting how they didn't say the same about Hobi, who did exactly the same thing. The problem is when Jimin does it. The problem for many is Jimin.

Will I ever stop making posts like this?

Jimin is a wonderful, talented, respectful and private person. With a beautiful soul. super talented, funny and LOVED by MILLIONS of people in the world. Jimin will continue to succeed, and make lots of money and his detractors will continue to be bitter in the darkness of their bedrooms.

[beautifulpersonpeach]

BPP,

First of all, I love your blog. I am so happy to see you active.

Second of all, I agree with that anon about finding Jimin fascinating. I have never been this intrigued by any other celebrity. I find him different but I don't know why. He is good looking but so are other idols. I mean it's Kpop. Most have to be good looking to make it. It's just such a weird thing. Like you can't help but notice him. Everytime I watch a BTS related content, he is the first person I notice. He isn't even my favourite but my eyes will instantly see him before anyone else. He also somehow leaves the strongest mark in any mvs or performances or even simple content. It's weird. I don't get it.

***

Hi Anon, 💜

I saw your ask come in days ago, just as I was logging out of the app and felt a bit bad because I knew I wouldn't have any time for Tumblr for the next few days. Lately, I've actually wanted to remain active here, but life keeps getting in the way. I know it's not a big deal but I really am thankful that so many of you understand that I'm active here only when I can afford to be. 💜

On to more interesting topics, yes to everything you said about Jimin. There's no other member I write about here more than Jimin and it's something I don't ever feel like apologizing for because that man is infinitely captivating.

It's rare to see someone who recognizes exactly what he is, as young as Jimin did. There are many points over the years that Jimin has done something, and it registered in my head that this man is different. It's human to be a bit self-indulgent, to be a little self-absorbed, a little self-deception is a very natural mechanism that sometimes shields us from other people's projections and malicious intent. And so it struck me as almost inhuman in how acutely aware Jimin was to recognize his need to be seen, heard, in the most audacious format available to him as a 13 year old boy in Busan, South Korea.

His depth of self-knowledge, indicative of his unusually high intelligence, is at the source of his magnetism and charisma. In my opinion. You can see it in his eyes and it amplifies his already unnatural beauty.

I recently started speaking with a Jimin-bias on Twitter and we've become good friends. She described Jimin like this (and I've linked in sources):

"Jimin of BTS is the man who wrote a detailed essay that convinced his parents to let him study dance over science or law, who landed an esteemed dance and martial arts scholarship, who went against his teacher (Lee Hwa Sung’s) wishes of going the more secure route excelling as a professional modern dancer given his talents, to instead pursue his dream to become an idol, who called his dad once a month as a trainee of a nearly bankrupt agency saying “don’t worry dad. Even if I don’t make it this way I’ll make it another way”, who debuted as main dancer and lead vocalist with what is now the biggest group in the world despite having the shortest training period in Big Hit’s history and one of the shortest training periods in all of kpop to date."

*

That is one reason I am ecstatic about FACE. The music itself is one thing and we'll deal with that when we get there - I may or may not like the music (though given what he's released so far, the fact he's in BTS, and him working with RM and PDogg, I doubt it). But the subject matter of FACE: Park Jimin, would interest me even if I was on my death bed with only 10 KB of data available for me to use one last time.

*

I'm not very good at explaining what I mean, but I hope those who love him don't take offense when I call Jimin a freak. Because that is what I'm absolutely convinced he is. I don't know how else to express just how beastly I think he really is. Looking at him for me is like looking at one of those lenticular prints that shift into different things depending on lighting - like you turn your head one way looking at Jimin and you see a panther, turn your head another way and you see a dove, turn yet another way and you see a snake. And each animal is the most perfect expression of its form. He hones every quality he expresses with a meticulousness that scares me sometimes, because every example of that sort of personality I've seen in music has burnt out or passed before 40 (Prince being the only exception). The rapline have an identical quality but they seem less volatile than Jimin to me for some reason.

Anyway, I'm rambling. I'm excited about FACE and Anon when I saw your ask come in days ago, I suspected you were fishing (lol), but also I love Jimin and will take every excuse to talk about him. It's also way easier to talk about him than it is to talk about Yoongi, Namjoon, and Hoseok for me lol.

Speaking of which, it goes without saying that Jimin's evolution in self-awareness is also a result of his relationship with the rapline in BTS, as well as some other members. Jimin's comments about how he relies on those three, of what he thinks of their characters, and about how those three have assisted and influenced him, are consistent with how I see them too.

Back to Jimin, he's a once in a lifetime personality and there's nothing wrong with admitting it.

(Me too, Jungkook. Me too.)

Make sure you've pre-saved FACE, stream On The Street, and stay hydrated. 💜

[fromtenthousandfeet]

This is the anon who made the BTS/feudal reference again. Glad it was good for a laugh. Btw, eagerly anticipating your essay (?) on Golden.

When Jimin got his #1, we were told by the so-called Army experts, that it was so unexpected by everyone that the company couldn't readjust their schedule/budget/strategy to capitalize on its outstanding success. We were also told that the 9-day promotion (and no radio, playlisting, limited non-Korean exposure, and only two mvs) was exactly what Jimin wanted because otherwise he would have demanded more and OF COURSE they would have given it to him and OMG, why do we insist on infantilizing him and disrespecting his choices?

Three things.

Was it really that unexpected? Don't they have people working for them who monitor and predict these things? They don't know the scope of his U.S. fandom? They didn't notice the chatter about Jimin or how popular he is with interviewers and media types?

A windfall lands in their laps and they can't adjust to capitalize on it? WTH kind of hidebound corporation is this? Jimin's win was everywhere. It was a story. Any self-respecting, media-savvy company would have had Jimin's name and his well-disciplined ass everywhere the next morning. BandPD wouldn't even mention it (or Jimin) during his Bloomberg interview.

STFU, company stans. Jimin isn't just your BTS cheerleader and he doesn't need to sacrifice his career for the beloved JK. Jimin has plenty of ambition, he and his team worked hard on that album, and yes, as an artist, he does want to be heard. I get that the attention may have been nerve-racking and unfamiliar territory for him. Get Jimin some help to guide him along. But don't waste an opportunity like that.

Look, I have spent my whole life living in a capitalist country. I get the money chase. I get the greed. But if you are going to be a profit-worshipping capitalist, could you at least be a good one?

And as an added bonus...Jimin and Like Crazy was their best chance for a Grammy nomination. There, I said it. Did they really think Seven and Jungkook was going to do it for them? No offense, but... as if!

I was just reading another blogger this morning who predicted little little would change for Jimin in PJM2 because BangPD and company have set their agenda, and Jimin isn't on it. I guess this agenda is written in stone, so Jimin will never be on it. And he will always have to make his own road.

Man, that sucks. This is a sad note to end a rant on, isn't it? Thanks for listening.

Spot on. I really couldn't agree more.

[solarwynd]

https://www.tumblr.com/solarwynd/736164064837943296/it-really-is-irksome-how-jk-constantly-mentions-jm?source=share

He's corny most of the time since seven era. Tbh i also never mind him mentioning jm cause that's his frnd but like as you said he always has a story to tell about other members but when it's jm i honestly don't remember him telling anything about jm these past 1-2 yrs just should i? Could i? idt he'll do this..?? Do guys want me to do that?, Will he do this? always something negative.

Even namjoon with whom he i think hardly meets (based on their talks) he also has something to tell about namjoon and everyone else but ask him about jm nothing good shit is coming out of that mouth.

What I'm saying is if you don't have anything to say about jm why not ignore the question? I'm sure there's like hundreads of questions from tkkrs (they're the ones who terrorizes his live the most in cmnts) so like go ahead and answer them?? just fking delet jm out of your system or something. The peak was that "idt jm hyung will do this dance challenge with me" I'm like dude you never asked any of them to do shit with you so blame yourself why putting blame on all members?? And he read those questions so many times. Another one is "do live with jm" like it's not like out of 24/7 you two never got time to do a live together just ignore that question if neither of you wants to do it.

idk what's wrong with this dude he be saying there's always saesang around his house but will walk thousands of fans to his house on live, will show every corner of the house atp he's gonna tell his own address by his mouth on the live and then be talking about stalkers.

Seven era is the worst thing to happen regarding him because that personality evolvement (or regression) is not appealing whatsoever. His most irritating offense is whenever those “jeon jimin” comments pop up and he acts like he doesn’t know what the obvious shipper is trying to do. like please don’t play dumb. The only viable reason for him to read those questions is because he knows the type or people who are in those chat logs already and knows that it’ll entice them. It just makes his relationship with jm look like a tool for his own benefit on the outside and given the energy jm puts into each one of his own, to not get it reciprocated on that same scale is kinda shitty to me.

But jk knows how to work people. Cause even going back to seven, I remember that live he did where it first got announced and all of a sudden, it turned into the gymbro hour. He knew who was watching and was trying to get them to rally behind supporting that single. Even his main akagae on twitter called it. And it’s definitely fuck them, but it’s never been a lie. Which is exactly why I always scratch my head when I see a certain breed of people call jm manipulative when that’s highkey jk’s forte 🥴

And the stalkers he’s been having is another thing because it’s a 360 issue. on one hand, he should be able to do lives in his home without needing to worry about people following him there and on the other, he’s unfortunately created a space where people are so comfortable with doing so because he’s extremely open with his personals. For someone of his caliber, it was never smart to do safety wise.

[borathae]

Sibiii the new chapter is so heartbreaking 🥺🥺

First of all Jimin is such a sweetheart 🥺 I wanna smooch him so bad 😔

Namjoon is a freak and OC should gave him more pain then she already did after all the mental and physical pain he gave her

And Tae, poor Tae 🥺😫 I understand both Tae and OC, Tae feel hurt in this moment and when you're passing a moment like that it can be normal to say something you might regret but here I felt he said that because he love her so much and care a lot and he's doing everything in his power to help her. OC too, when the time will be right they have to confront eachother even because they went through a lot during the story but her too love Tae so much and I'm super convinced about that, like I'm super convinced that if Tae was on Yoongi place she would have done the same, and that means even for Kook, Jimin, Hoseok, Jin and Emma. She's working her ass off to find a cure and a solution for it .

But our queen don't have to let herself go, when Tae found her dying I was so heartbroken 😔

Kookie is a sweetheart too because he didn't give up on Yoongi and he'll never do, I really hope Meredith can help them 🥺

🌺

First of all Jimin is such a sweetheart 🥺 I wanna smooch him so bad 😔

same same same same 🥺🥺 he came so far istfg I love this lil dude so much 🥺😔

I understand both Tae and OC, Tae feel hurt in this moment and when you're passing a moment like that it can be normal to say something you might regret but here I felt he said that because he love her so much and care a lot and he's doing everything in his power to help her.

NO BUT SAME istfg the situation was so fucking messy and I'm so sad for both of them :( someone on AO3 said that "i dont think tae is mad at mc for falling in love w yoongi, i think he’s just mad that she’s neglecting herself because she loves him so much!!" and I just gotta quote it here because this is exactly what Tae is feeling rn and what makes him so frustrated. It's because she is breaking herself and forgetting her own needs and Tae feels helpless in trying to be there for her and in his own moment of frustration he said things he clearly didn't mean :( gosh these two just need to hug it out and talk :(

OC too, when the time will be right they have to confront eachother even because they went through a lot during the story but her too love Tae so much and I'm super convinced about that, like I'm super convinced that if Tae was on Yoongi place she would have done the same, and that means even for Kook, Jimin, Hoseok, Jin and Emma. She's working her ass off to find a cure and a solution for it .

OF COURSE SHE WOULD FIGHT FOR HIM!! HOLY MOLY SHE WOULD FIGHT FOR ALL OF THEM EQUALLY!! Like this isn't just a "only Yoongi" thing, this is a "I gotta make sure my family is whole again" thing. You can clearly see that she wants to reunite her family again by that part of the story: "How could they celebrate when your family wasn’t whole? How could they laugh and sing and dance when Yoongi wasn’t with you? When he was still sick? Their good mood felt like offensive mockery to you." LIKE MY QUEEN JUST WANTS THE FAMILY TO BE WHOLE AGAIN 😭😭

Also okay this is such a rant now, but I wanna say this because it's so fandnfan istfg I love talking about characters fkadkf

I do believe that if someone else was in the coma and Yoongi was alright, the situation would be different in the sense that she wouldn't go as mad as she is right now. And the reason for that is because Yoongi would be there to guide and help her. He is the only person in their family who truly knows magic and who can teach magic and who knows spells/potions etc. Right now, she is all alone and she feels like she is "the only person who can teach herself magic" because nobody else knows enough about it to be of actual help. Of course Tae helps her translate stuff and rest assured that he tells her EVERYTHING he knows about magic and that he tries to be as of much help as possible, but he sadly was never a warlock and doesn't have on-hand-experience :( so she feels as lost as she does right now because she doesn't really have a "true teacher". AND I ALSO THINK THAT THE SITUATION WOULDN'T HAVE LASTED AS LONG BECAUSE YOONGI WOULD HAVE KNOWN WHAT TO DO 😭😭 PLEASE SOMEONE REUNITE THIS FAMILY BEFORE I BREAK 😭😭

Wherever u r isn't a bad song, it's just nothing special. It's pretty, yet very basic. The lyrics are meh, but since they're unoffensive and make sense, that's good enough for me (looking at you, Jungkook). Umi's voice is pretty yet also basic, and she has that cursive style of singing (even the title is in lowercase and abbreviated) I don't exactly love. V's voice fits the song, but his accent is awful. He doesn't always sound bad in English - eg., the English trilogy - but when he sings in cursive with an English accent, it sounds like he has marbles in his mouth, as a Redditor once put it. It's very distracting. V could sing way better in English if he changed the way he sings. His accent isn't great, but I don't understand at least 70% of what Jungkook sings in his Golden b-sides and enjoy the songs regardless. Even with flawed pronunciation, songs can be enjoyable. The issue is how V chooses to sing in English. If he sang clearly like in Korean, it would be much easier to ignore his poor accent. Given how many people like to say Jungkook was only chosen for Seven because he's somehow's Hybe's favorite, I once again ask those fans if they can imagine V singing Seven and it becoming a hit song - no offense to V. He can sound amazing, but his English singing takes a lot of getting used to. My favorite V song is Sweet Night, which I adore - I love his voice in the song, how it combines with Adora's, and how romantic and full of yearning he sounds - but it took me some to get used to his English.

But it's sweet that he dropped the song on his birthday. Happy birthday, baby! I hope he gets some sort of special treatment or reward on his birthday - like a better meal, more phone time, leaving "work" earlier, or something like that.

Side tangent, I get that this song was released on V's birthday, and Jimin's song came out during Christmas, but aren't 2 songs in a week too much? Golden came out not too long ago, we're still processing Vminkook and Namjoon's enlistment, we have regular BANGTANTV episodes, BTS Monuments is airing, and it's the holidays so people are generally "busy"... Did we really need two songs? Couldn't Jimin's song have been released for Festa, or Valentine's Day or something? Since V's song's a collab and came out on his birthday, it would've made more sense to postpone Jimin's release instead. Are they really going to maintain this level of activity until June 2025? I know Jin comes back next June, and Hobi a few months later, but just how much stuff do they have prepared for us? I'm so behind already, I wish Hybe slowed down.

deal // chapter 7: a break in character but not in case

word count: 3.3k

⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯-

“You’re sure this is it, right?” Jimin asks with a frown, speed walking to keep up with Namjoon’s brisk pace towards the house. Namjoon looks towards him, not answering for a moment before shaking his head. 

“No, I just picked a random location and took us there for fun. Of course I know where the hell we’re going,” Namjoon snorts, crossing his arms over his chest. Jimin nods silently. He does feel a bit stupid for asking such an obvious question, but he’s nervous to go into the house they’re so quickly making their way towards. Questioning suspects isn’t something he has any experiences with, to the point where delaying it by even a second is a relief for him. He’s not sure what he’s going to do, or how he’s going to do it, or if any of this will work at all. 

They’re in front of the residence of Ban Seojin, a medium-sized but clearly more than comfortable home in a modern architecture style, its walls a cool grey with white window frames. It looks like it’s meant to be friendly and welcoming, but it’s not, at least not when Jimin’s standing in front of it right now.

Jimin isn’t sure whether or not Namjoon can tell he’s out of his depth at the moment, but based on how he’s chewing slightly on his lip, his palms are clammy no matter how much he tries to rub them dry on his clothes, and he takes in gulps of air every few seconds even though their pace is quite slow, he’s sure it’s pretty obvious. He feels pathetic, he probably looks pathetic as well, but Jimin promises himself he’s going to do well. He’s not sure if that’s a promise he’s going to be able to keep, but he prepares himself anyways, taking one last deep breath as he holds his chin up high and puffs out his chest a bit in an attempt at a confident stance. 

“Are you trying to look like a gorilla who’s about to bang his chest or something? Because what you really look like is stupid,” Namjoon says, eyes flicking over Jimin’s body before they finally settle on his chest. “No offense.”

“Saying something offensive and then saying no offense doesn’t make it less offensive, you dolt,”

“Noted, Park. Now how about we just go inside before you try delaying us again?” Namjoon’s voice is almost playful, but as Jimin’s eyes widen at that he feels his arm being pulled towards the door.

“Hey, I- I can walk myself, Kim!”

“Useful information, but you weren’t exactly being subtle about the fact that you don’t want to go in, and we’re in this together whether you like it or not, and I certainly don’t like it either,” Namjoon mutters, tightening his grip on Jimin, who tries unsuccessfully to pull his arm away. 

His arm is only let go of when they reach the front door, when Namjoon immediately knocks. Jimin rubs his arm where Namjoon had held it, not because it particularly hurts (Namjoon’s touch had been surprisingly gentle compared to his demeanor) but because he honestly needs something to fidget with and stare at to distract himself from…well, everything. 

There’s no answer, no footsteps coming towards them, though when Jimin squints through the barely-open blinds he swears he can see light coming from further within the house. Namjoon gives it a minute before sighing and knocking again, louder and more insistent. “I know you’re in there,” Namjoon says under his breath, barely audible against the tapping of his foot against the ground below. 

This time the door does actually open, making Jimin flinch back a bit, having not expected that since they hadn’t even heard the person approaching. The picture included in one of the files had been rather low quality, a bit too grainy for Jimin to be sure of Seojin’s features, but the man in front of them is certainly him. His eyes are sharp and dark, contrasting his mostly grey hair and the slightly sagging skin of his face. He looks like he’s somewhere in his mid fifties, which fits, since Seojin is 56. 

The expression on his face barely changes, only getting a bit confused as he sees them, the rest of his body language neutral. He cocks his head to the side, as if nonverbally questioning why they were here. A question it seems Namjoon is more than ready to answer, as he quickly launches into an explanation. 

“Hello, Mr. Ban. My name is Kim Namjoon. I suppose you know of the recent death of Soo Jeonghoon?” Namjoon’s words are phrased as a question, but his dry tone makes it clear it’s not. He’s asking Ban to confirm something that he already knows, and Ban knows it too, based on the way his eyes narrow before he answers. 

“Yes, I have. Unfortunate really, quite the tragedy for his family,” Ban says. “Is there any particular reason you’ve decided to visit me, Kim Namjoon and…?”

“Park Jimin,” Jimin interjects. “My name is Park Jimin, nice to meet you, sir.”

“Pleasure to meet you, Jimin,” Ban says, though he doesn’t seem to really care, his voice the auditory equivalent of a shrug as he turns his attention straight back to Namjoon. Jimin clenches his teeth and represses a sigh; why does it seem like everyone is intent on ignoring him all the time?

“Well, Mr. Ban, we’d just like to ask you a few questions about yourself in relation to what happened,”

Ban immediately opens his mouth, likely to protest that he has nothing to do with it or ask what exactly Namjoon means by “what happened”, but Namjoon starts talking again before he could do any of that. 

“Don’t worry, Mr. Ban, we’re not here to pin the blame on you, we’re not police. We’re just interested in some things, if you would be willing to help us,”

Ban considers it for a moment before nodding slowly, stepping back from the door to signal that Namjoon and Jimin are allowed to come in. Namjoon nods briskly as he walks in, leaving Jimin behind, not even having moved by the time Namjoon is all the way in and has turned the corner further into the building. Ban gestures inside while staring at him, so finally JImin swallows before walking in, the door shutting behind him almost instantly. 

Ban leads them to a living room furnished with two sofas facing each other and a few armchairs on the sides of them, their cream, off-white, and light grey colors blending in with the color scheme established by the house’s exterior, along with the darker grey of the walls. It’s all quite bland, the only real pops of color other than the photos lining the walls and a couple of abstract paintings being the warm sunlight streaming in through an open window. 

Namjoon sits down on one of the couches, and Jimin quickly follows, adjusting himself slightly for a few seconds afterwards just to do something other than sitting still, staring at the man in front of them. Seojin settles down opposite him and Namjoon, placing his hands on his black slacks. 

“So, what exactly do the two of you want to know?” 

“Where were you on the night of the 26th of September?” Namjoon says the moment Ban finishes speaking. 

“Well, one of my previous colleagues who I was rather close with had recently gotten a major promotion. We decided that it was in order to celebrate, so we had made a reservation at Jungsik and that was the night we had dinner there. I spent most of the evening there, and then afterwards I spent a few hours at his home before coming back here at around 23:30,” 

“And what is your friend’s name?”

“Hwang Gaho, his name is Hwang Gaho,”

Namjoon takes out a notepad from his pocket and writes on it for a couple of seconds before he puts down the pen he had been using, lips pursing into a tight frown and jaw clenching. He looks back up towards Ban a few seconds later, but his expression hasn’t relaxed much, gaze still intense.

“Would you be able to verify this in any way?”

“I…well, I suppose Jungsik keeps some sort of records of reservations? If you were to ask, they could tell you,”

Jimin swears that Namjoon’s about to break the pen in his hand from how tight he seems to be holding it. The way he’s looking at Ban has turned into a full-on glare. Jimin’s not even the target and the sight is still unnerving, the air around them tensing around Namjoon’s clear anger. Anger at what, Jimin doesn’t know. He has a feeling Namjoon isn’t the type to tell him, either. 

“Is there anything else, Mr. Ban?”

Ban shakes his head quickly, swallowing nervously, eyes making contact with Namjoon’s for a moment before looking away again. “No, I think that’s all. Apologies if I wasn’t much help, I wish you luck in your future endeavors.”

His voice has taken on a slightly higher pitch, squeaky at some points. He looks at Namjoon as if silently begging him to leave, to which Namjoon presses his tongue to the side of his mouth with a frown before getting up. He turns his head towards Jimin for a moment, making a nod towards the door with an annoyed expression. Jimin gives Ban what he hopes is an apologetic look before following after Namjoon, who’s already out at the door immediately. 

There’s something heavy between them, following them from the house they’ve just left to the car Jimin knows he’s going to be stuck in for the next hour or so as they navigate away from the suburbs surrounding Seoul and back to Namjoon’s house, and he’s not looking forward to it. Normally Namjoon was irritating, quick to be irritated himself, yes, but Jimin has never seen him like this before. 

Namjoon’s knuckles are white as he grips the steering wheel, eyes completely in front of him even before he’s started the car. When the engine starts, wheels turning beneath them, it’s the only sound Jimin can hear other than Namjoon’s harsh breaths, air coming out of his mouth like an enraged bull. 

Jimin settles his hands on his thighs and tries not to look at Namjoon, because if he’s being honest himself he’s genuinely scared at the moment, but he can’t keep his gaze from flicking towards him a few times. Namjoon always looks the same, never any less angry, and if anything he seems to get even more frustrated in the next few minutes. 

Deep breaths aren’t helping Jimin calm his heart right now, and they sure as hell aren’t placating the demon that his investigation ‘partner’ has become. Every time Namjoon makes a turn it’s quick and sharp, and other than that he barely moves any part of his body, especially not his head. Jimin’s never seen anyone like this before, and he’s not sure how to deal with it. 

All of the humor Jimin had seen rare glimpses of is gone, and Jimin feels like they’re back at stage one, the exact way it was when Namjoon had come to his apartment and forced Jimin to go with him - except even then, Namjoon had been sarcastic, not entirely serious. Now there’s nothing, just a statue who seems to have the capacity for nothing except anger. 

Well, fuck, Jimin finds himself thinking, this is going to be a long ride, isn’t it?

•

Heavy drops of rain smack against the window, obscuring most of the view outside except for the temporary reprieve of the windshield wipers. Lights blur, buildings blend, and everything takes on a dreary color. It’s fitting to the car’s mood, he thinks, thunder roaring through the sky every couple of minutes or so, storm clouds nearby threatening to only make the weather even more nasty. 

The car screeches to a halt in front of the house as Namjoon stomps harshly on the brake pedal, lurching Jimin forward a bit so that he has to hold his arms out to keep himself from launching his head onto the windshield. Namjoon doesn’t care at all, though, opening the door and getting out the moment the vehicle has completely stopped. He speaks for the first time in the entire car ride then, snapping loudly at Jimin, “Get out, Park.”

He can feel Namjoon’s glare on his back as he scrambles out the door, and though he’s scared, though he knows it wouldn’t be a good idea to interact with Namjoon when he was like this, Jimin can feel anger boil inside of himself as well. He had been dragged away from his life, from his job and his friend, all to deal with this shit, and he doesn’t know how much longer he can stand it. 

Not that that stops him from following Namjoon back into the house at a quick pace, as he’s not exactly eager to annoy the man any more either. Jimin takes a deep breath as Namjoon opens the door and they step in, which for some reason Namjoon takes notice of. 

“Christ, Park, is walking from the car too much exercise for you or some shit?” 

Jimin’s not sure if the first bolt of lightning has just struck outside or if he’s simply blinded by anger, but somehow he’s gone from standing near the door with his fists clenched to his hands on Namjoon’s chest, pushing him backwards without managing to knock him down. Namjoon stares at him, surprise overtaking anger, anger that seems to have transferred to Jimin instead. 

“What the fuck is wrong with you, Kim? All you’ve been for the past two hours is a cranky bitch who can’t control his anger issues, and I’m sick of it. I didn’t choose to be here, you made me, and now you’re acting like this. How does that make sense?” Jimin yells, voice cracking a bit as it goes hoarse, but he continues on, fueled by pure adrenaline. “How? Tell me Kim, tell me!”

There’s a little fury left in Namjoon’s expression, but it’s shadowed by shock and something that looks almost like guilt. He reaches out his arm towards Jimin slightly, weakly, but Jimin steps back, crossing his arms. He’s in charge right now, even if Namjoon won't believe it, even if he himself can’t quite believe it. He can do this, he can do things too, and Namjoon needs to know that. 

“Tell me,” Jimin’s voice has dropped to a whisper now, both because his anger has died down slightly and because his throat hurts from his previous volume. If he didn’t know better, he might say Namjoon just looks the slightest bit vulnerable in this moment, but he does know better, and within seconds Namjoon has fixed his posture, regaining his confidence. But when he speaks again, Namjoon’s voice isn’t nearly as antagonistic as before. 

“Pa- Jimin,” He says, breathing ragged, and he hesitates then, eyes flicking around the room like he’s hoping it’ll give him an idea on what to say. He swallows before his gaze settles on Jimin, and he breathes out before speaking again. “I know I seem like some sort of monster. But I don’t try to be.” His voice is uncharacteristically soft and desperate in a way Jimin hadn’t expected.

“Then how the hell are you so bad at not being terrible, Namjoon? What’s stopping you from getting better? Why are you like this?” Jimin’s questions are genuine this time, not just a pointed insult, though some of that is still there. It’s then that he realizes that for once Namjoon just called him by his name, his personal one, and he called Namjoon by his. Something he had done in his head before, sure, but never out loud. 

“Let me explain!” Namjoon exclaims, grabbing Jimin’s arm before he can step away. As an afterthought, likely after seeing the look on Jimin’s face, he adds, “Please.”

“I’ve spent my whole life learning how to be ruthless, how to get rid of any guilt I feel, because that was the only way I could survive. I couldn’t show empathy, I couldn’t be kind, and if I showed any feelings I was told I was just a weak little bitch. So I didn’t, and that’s why I was able to do shit, and that’s how I managed to ‘succeed’ in this entire fucked up system. I was trained to be some inhuman robot who just did tasks for the higher-ups, and I still can’t get away,” Namjoon’s yelling at this point, as Jimin looks at him he feels his own face fall.

Namjoon’s upset, that much is clear, but not like he was before. The anger in his eyes is interspersed with regret and sadness, not as pure and directed outward as he had been before – Namjoon’s angry at himself, too, though for what Jimin’s not entirely sure. He opens his mouth to cut in, but Namjoon looks at him before releasing his grip, stepping away. 

“Don’t get me wrong. I’m not weak. I’m not going to sit here throwing a pity party for myself with you as a guest to my sob story. But shit was just…different, okay? I have no idea how to trust anyone and I don’t know where I’d begin, either,” Namjoon says, looking to the side to avoid eye contact with Jimin, crossing his arms over his chest as if trying to take back the little part of him he had just revealed. Which doesn’t work, since Jimin isn’t going to just let this go and give up. 

“You were doing sort of well before today. You just need to keep trying. You’re trusting me a bit right now, aren’t you?”

Jimin’s not entirely sure why he’s doing this. He’s barely able to help himself, and now he’s trying to assist Kim Namjoon, someone he’s hated since the moment he met him. Why is he helping him of all people? He doesn’t know the answer to his own question.

Namjoon’s still hesitating, face returning to its usual neutral-frown. Jimin feels like he’s going to go insane trying to break through this man’s shell, but he needs to if he’s going to be able to investigate a murder. So even though he doesn’t want to, even though he normally isn’t the type to do things just because they’re the “right thing to do”, he continues. 

“You’ve made progress. You’ve told me something about yourself, you didn’t do that before. We need to be able to work together, and the only way we can do that is if you work on your ability to not be a dick,”

“Good point,” Namjoon nods, hesitating for a moment before reaching his hand out towards Jimin. “Deal. You help me try to be a decent person and I’ll…go along with it.”

Jimin takes Namjoon’s hand and shakes it, noticing how when he begins to take his hand away Namjoon’s touch lingers just a bit longer than it should. It’s a stark contrast to the first time they were in this position - in Jimin’s apartment, when Namjoon likely hadn’t even considered trying to improve, and Jimin was actively being threatened to go along with things. And they hated each other. Though he’s not entirely sure how much that’s actually changed. 

Kim Namjoon is still undoubtedly a jerk most of the time, but he’s a jerk who’s trying to be a bit less of a jerk. A jerk who at least has a sense of humor, a jerk who sometimes manages to do things that could almost be considered kind.

And for the first time, Jimin considers that maybe, just maybe, the Kim Namjoon he knows now might not be as bad as the one he had first met.

FULL SERIES COLLECTION

“Why aren’t you at work...? Trouble in paradise?” Jimin clocks your agitation from a mile away. You’re standing at the front door of his and Yoongi’s shared apartment which is thankfully in the same building as your own home. It’s 9:12AM and you’ve already called in sick to work. You don’t want to deal with anything you don’t have to today. 

“Can I come in?”

“Of course you can,” Your best friend smiles, crescent-moon like eyes nervously searching your outfit. You’re still in pyjamas, not even sexy or remotely classy ones at that – red Christmassy penguin printed ones. Complete with matching slippers. “...What did he do?”

You groan in frustration, kicking off your slippers with a huff before collapsing onto Jimin’s sofa, “Is Yoongi at work?”

The man you’ve known almost forever joins you, albeit a little hesitantly because he can see the resting bitch face blanketing your features, “Yeah he left twenty minutes ago, it’s just me here… Sooo are you gonna—”

“Ruth got out of Cypher.” You scoff, unamused, stomach bubbling with anger when you hurriedly brush your hair from your face, “Last night, she’s at my parent’s house now.”

Jimin sighs in return, his face crumpled with sympathy, “Y/N… I’m sorry… How are—”

“Oh I’m fine.” You exaggerate, clutching your chest dramatically all while biting back another humourless laugh. You don’t mean to take your anger out on Jimin, that’s not why you came here. And so you soften, relaxing a little, “Sorry… It’s just-, I explicitly told Jungkook not to tell anyone she could be getting out, and what does he do? Tells Taehyung. Tae came over last night and told us that she’s out. He wasn’t even supposed to know.”

Your bestie’s lips purse, as though he’s contemplating the right words to say, “So we’re mad at Jungkook for telling Tae… And upset that Ruth is roaming free?”

“Exactly.”

“I get that. Say no more.”

And you don’t, you sit on Jimin’s catastrophically bright pink sofa sharing a comfortable silence. He leaves briefly, returning with a cup of blonde blend coffee and some chocolate biscuits for you on a tiny purple heart shaped plate. His home is very vibrant, it looks totally different to how it did when he first moved in with his boyfriend Yoongi, Yoongi’s taste isn’t as… flamboyant as Jimin’s. But you figure he doesn’t mind the change in aesthetic, since almost everything in your vision is either animal printed or offensively bright in colour. Looks like Jimin’s got his own way on mostly everything.

You sigh, dunking a biscuit into your steaming drink, “Shit... I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have burst in here putting my problems on—”

“Our problems.” He clicks his fingers with raised brows, “If you’re mad at Jungkook so am I… Have you spoken to him about him running that pretty mouth of his?”

A puff of air escapes your nostrils, “No… I ran straight here when I realised he’s still at home.”

Jungkook usually sets off for work as early as 6:30AM, so the fact he’s still in your penthouse apartment at this time is unusual to say the least. You figure he could be working from home today, it’s not something he does very often though. Or maybe he wanted to patch things up with you when you woke up, but either way you decided you were having none of it and came to visit the one person who always has your back. Even when you are being a little... dramatic.

“He’s still in? That’s weird, cause Yoongi is at work…”

Yoongi is Jungkook’s personal driver most days, giving your fiancé’s hatred for driving. But Jimin’s partner also works at Jeon Industries, you’re not entirely sure what he does there but you’ve seen him around the office on days you’ve taken lunch to Jungkook.

“He does work at JI too, I wouldn’t think too much into it.” You offer a small smile.

Jimin visibly exhales with relief, “I know, I know sorry… So how are you feeling about Ruth being out?”

“I’ll be honest… Not great.”

Not great doesn’t even begin to cut it. She may be your sister but she’s still a mentally unstable narcissist who tried to ruin your life. But that’s not even your main concern anymore, your nephew Charlie is. Is Ruth going to be healthy enough to care for her son? What if she stops you from seeing him? Your stomach twists at the thought, nausea and dread enveloping your every sense. She wouldn’t do that to you, would she?

A wash of realisation floods Jimin’s denim-clad body, he’s loving the double denim look of lately. At least today his jeans are black and his jacket acid-wash blue, broken up by a pale lemon t shirt. Sometimes he prefers to wear matching denim sets with no shirt, you didn’t even know they existed until his recent obsession with them. “Ah… So that’ll be why your mum didn’t come to your fitting yesterday.”

You nod, throwing your legs over the man’s thighs, “Yup.”

It’s not that you demand to be more important than your sister, because you don’t. You’ve been more than understanding of your parents’ relationship with her – even after everything she put you through. It’s just… There are some things in life that only happen once, and you hope getting married is one of them. Your mother should’ve at least text you and let you know she couldn’t make it to the fitting, but you still haven’t heard from her since Ruth’s return.

“What’s gonna happen with baby Charlie?” Jimin’s plump lips are pursed, his hand resting gently on the bend of your knee.

“I have no idea…”

A loud notification on Jimin’s phone interrupts your conversation, it’s a doorbell alert. He taps the screen, eyes widening in surprise and he almost chokes on his coffee, spluttering his next words to you.

“Uh-, do you want Jungkook to know you’re here?” He asks, carefully removing your legs from his lap when he stands, “Because he’s at the door.”

“What?!” You frown, grabbing his phone.

The footage displayed confirms your best friend’s admission, not that you had any reason to doubt him. Jungkook is standing at the front door, dressed in a black suit with thin white pinstripes decorating the material – flaunting his muscular arms and long legs. It’s one of your favourite suits on him. The shirt he wears is brilliant white, the top two buttons undone, exposing the tanned skin of his neck and the silver chain dangling from it. Your fiancé looks worried, thick brows pinched as he shifts his weight between his feet.

“No… Don’t tell him I’m here.” You shake your head, springing from the sofa to hide before passing Jimin the small device back.

Yoongi is an excellent chef, you’ve been lucky enough to sample some of his homemade cooking in the past so you already know there’s a little pantry next to the front door. That’s where you decide to hide, ignoring Jimin’s blatant snigger at your display of immaturity.

“You know you could just talk to him and sort this out…” His voice is quiet and decorated with a grin, yet he’s the one making sure you’re well out of sight by forcing you to sit behind a huge sack of rice.

“Not yet, he’s pissed me off.” You laugh breathily when bags of crisps and other lightweight non-perishables are being thrown at you to furthermore disguise your presence, “I think that’s enough!” You whisper-shout, “There’s a door yknow, just close it. He’s not going to come in here.”

“Yeah but just in case...” Jimin throws something else at you before kicking his head back with a mischievous giggle, quickly shutting the pantry door. Leaving you in the dark surrounded by snacks – things could be worse. You already know Yoongi is going to flip his shit at his organisational skills been destroyed, so you make a mental note to tidy the cupboard before you leave. Just cause you’re mad at your partner doesn’t mean you have to drag him down into the same bad mood.

What you hear next is the unmistakable sound of Jungkook’s voice, “Hey I’m really sorry if this is a bad time, can we talk?”

“Hey… Not a bad time at all, now’s fine, come on in.” Jimin says calmly, as though he’s not harbouring a fugitive in his pantry right now. You’re biting back a laugh, too scared to move in case they hear the food packets rustling. That’s when it hits you: what the fuck are you doing? You cover your mouth to muffle the snort that rattles your chest and nose.

“Is Y/N here?”

“No… No, she’s not here, why would she be here?” Oh Jimin.

Footsteps come into the apartment, the shadow’s of their bodies and shoes visible under the door, “Oh… We kind of got into a fight, I figured this would be the first place she’d come but I guess not.”

Fuck. He knows you too well.

“Everything okay? You guys never fight. Aren’t you supposed to be at work anyway?”

“Not really… And I’m working from home today.”

Jimin pushes him, you imagine his arms are folded over his chest, “What happened with you two?”

“Ahh… Sorry Jimin I know you’re her best friend but I can’t get into that with you, my big dumb mouth is already the problem.” You nod slowly, hanging onto his every word. Well at least he knows.

“So what did you want to talk about?” You can practically see Jimin’s quirked brow through the door. He has a point though, if not to discuss the ins and outs of your argument why is he here?

“Right… Since Y/N’s birthday is coming up I thought I’d ask your opinion on something. I mean I was kinda hoping she was here so I could apologise again. I couldn’t sleep last night knowing she was mad at me… Anyway since she’s not we’ll just go over the plan for her birthday.”

Your chest tightens, and your ears prick up with curiosity.

“Oh! Uh, okay…” You can hear the panic in Jimin’s voice, he doesn’t want you to hear this conversation at all, “How longs this gonna take? I’m sorry it’s just I’m actually on my way out—”

“I thought now was an okay time for me to come in?”

“Well yeah, but I meant—”

“I’ll be five minutes, tops. I’ve got a zoom meeting soon.” Jungkook reassures your bestie and your shoulders are bouncing from silent child-like giggles. This is too funny. Poor Jimin. Poor Jungkook. You feel like an evil mastermind hiding behind a wall of food, as though potatoes and rice are your first line of defence in battle.

When in reality you’re a twenty seven year old businesswoman hiding from her fiancé in penguin pyjamas. In a pantry.

“O-okay! What um-, what do you have in mind?” Jimin’s voice is quiet, and Kook immediately grows suspicious.

“Why are we whispering?” He says, also whispering.

The next noise that comes from the other side of the door is akin to a pained whine, high-pitched in tone, coming from Jimin’s mouth, “Well it’s just-, Y/N has access to my doorbell camera and microphone… She might be able to hear us. I’m sure she got the same notification I did when you arrived.”

Quick thinking on his part, you give credit where credit is due. Well done Jimin.

Jungkook’s still whispering, “She does? Shit okay, well let’s quickly go in here—”

Panic. Blind panic and embarrassment courses your veins when the door handle to the pantry pulls down. How the fuck are you going to explain this? Ten billion thoughts and excuses scramble your brain but you’re drawing a blank. Fuck.

“Noooo don’t go in there!!!!” There’s a loud bang, you’re pretty certain Jimin’s slammed himself against the door in a hurry to stop Kook from coming in here, “It’s still too close to the door, uh-, she could hear… Yknow if she checks the camera… Come on we’ll go to the kitchen.”

“When did Yoongi leave for work?” Kook asks, his voice growing quieter as the men move further inside, “He’s left his coffee in the lounge... and cookies. What a slob.”

“Ha ha ha ha... Yeah...” 

Jimin is going to kill you.

After fifteen minutes of hearing nothing more than hushed mumbles and laughter from the other room you finally hear footsteps growing closer. Your back hurts, you’re pressed up against a wire shelf adorned with spices and herbs that’s digging into you – but you still daren’t move, too scared that someone will hear you. You’ve committed to this ridiculousness now, for as long as you fiancé is in this apartment; you are not moving a muscle.

“Okay… well thanks for that.” Jungkook’s voice is oozing satisfaction, Jimin must’ve really liked his idea.

“Anytime.” The front door opens.

“And if you see Y/N, tell her I really need to speak to her please… I fucked up.”

Jimin sighs knowingly, guilt eroding his insides, “Sure, I’ll let her know. I hope you work things out.”

“Yeah, me too. See you later Jimin, thanks again. I’ll let you know when it arrives”

“Okay! Bye!”

The front door closes, you smile at the sound of your best friend locking it. Exhaling a breath of relief you didn’t realise you were holding in. The pantry door opens next, revealing Jimin who looks on the verge of having a mental break down, running fingers through his floppy brunette hair, he’s stressed. He picks up a heavy packet of dry yellow pasta and launches it straight at your head.

“Don’t you ever make me do that again!” He’s laughing hard, folded over in hysterics gripping his toned abdomen with a pained expression. “My god, why would you put me through that?!”

“Sorry…” You’re covering your bare face with your hands, a feeble attempt to hide how amused you are by the whole situation. “Sooo... What’s he getting me for my birthday?”

Another bag of pasta smacks you in the face, wiping the smile clean off you.

“A new best friend. I’m so done with your shit right now Y/N.”

It’s a couple hours later you return to your penthouse like a dog with it’s tail between its legs, feeling guilty for hiding from you fiancé. Thankfully Jimin had some clothes of yours in his apartment, a pair of black gym leggings and matching long sleeved workout top. Admittedly the outfit doesn’t exactly go with your slippers, which is what leads you to hide them in the closet the second you get inside, especially since you know Kook is working from home today.

Sometimes all you need is a good heart-to-heart with your best friend, and that’s exactly what you’ve done today. Sat on Jimin’s sofa ranting and raving about Ruth and how you hope she doesn’t stop you from seeing your nephew, Jimin listening, offering impartial advice and his opinion on the matter where necessary. He made you realise that Jungkook definitely didn’t tell Taehyung about the situation to be malicious, nor did Taehyung bring it up in front of you for that reason. It’s all just a big, silly understanding, and Ruth has no reason to stop you from seeing Charlie.

“Baby? Is that you?” Jungkook calls out from his home office which is on the right side of the apartment.

You exhale with puffed cheeks, realising he’s none the wiser that you’ve actually been hiding out at Jimin’s place all morning, “Yeah it’s me!” You yell back.

Jungkook sheepishly steps out of his office, still dressed in a suit, “Hey… Have you been to the gym?” He gestures to your clothes, walking over to you with worried features, “I called your office but Yuri said you called in sick today. Are you okay?”

“I uh-, I just didn’t feel up to going in today…” You welcome his embrace, sighing contently when he presses his lips to your temple, cradling you in his strong arms, “Still trying to process the fact that my sister’s back.”

“Baby I’m so sorry for telling Taehyung…” His voice is low, breath warm against your head when you mirror his affection and hug him back, “I’m such a fucking idiot, honestly… I feel terrible.”

“I just don’t understand why it was even mentioned in your conversation…” You’re still pissed off, but that doesn’t stop you from nuzzling your head against his chest and inhaling the cologne you’ve labelled your own personal comfort smell.

“We were talking about Charlie and it just went from there…”

You pull back to look at him with pinched brows, not missing the way his doe-eyes widen, “What about Charlie?”

“Nothing bad… not about you or Charlie anyway. To be honest with you I was bitching about Namjoon and then somehow your sister came up.” Jungkook’s smile is small and apologetic, his sharp features softening under your gaze, “I really am so sorry Y/N, you asked me not to tell Taehyung and I did anyway… It’s not okay, and I don’t expect you to forgive me any time soon. But I really am sorry.”

Your chest swells, you know he’s telling the truth so you drop it and decide to change the subject, “Why are you dressed like that if you’re at home?”

“Brownie points.” He nods confidently, flashing you a grin, “I know how much you like this suit.” His brows are wiggling animatedly, winning you to playfully roll your eyes in response.

“Don’t push your luck.” You snort, gently shoving his shoulder back.

At this his chest rattles with laughter, the sound like music to your ears, “What? I’m not ashamed of it. Yes I’m wearing this to impress my fiancé, and there’s nothing wrong with that.”

You’re giggling, shaking your head, “No there’s just something wrong with you.”

--

It’s Thursday evening, you’re sitting in your office with Yuri when you decide to bite the bullet and message Namjoon and ask what time he wants you to collect Charlie for the night. You’ve not heard from him all day. Yuri’s lips are stained red, matching the colour of her vibrant pant-suit. You’re finally all caught up on work, your ‘sick’ day this week actually proved itself useful, giving you more time to focus on what you needed to do.

“Have you seen Taehyung lately?” Yuri’s zoned in on her laptop, typing away in front of you.

“Nope, not since he came round the other night.” You sigh, knowing exactly where this is going. You adjust the sleeves of your blazer, smiling when you realise that you and Yuri have accidentally matched outfits today. The only thing that differs being the colour choice, she’s in red, you’re in navy.

Yuri has never met Taehyung properly, their paths have crossed briefly at parties and events but the two of them are yet to have an actual conversation. Perhaps that’s why your assistant is so fixated on the idea of Taehyung, your fiancé’s best friend, being attracted to you. She has this crazy theory that he secretly has the hots for you, apparently she’s seen him ‘staring at you way too many times to be a coincidence’. But of course, you’ve never personally noticed it.

“Mmm…” You don’t miss the sound of her tongue clicking against the roof of her mouth, despite the fact you’re fully focussed on your computer screen, “Weird how he could’ve just texted Kook about your sister, but instead he decided to show up at your place and cause an argument.”

You can’t help but roll your eyes, “He didn’t cause the argument, Jungkook is the one who caused the argument.”

“Still. Taehyung could’ve texted or called.”

“Pretty sure he’d just come from the gym, he was all sweaty and stuff… Our building is pretty close to his gym so it makes sense that he came round really.” You’re growing tired of hearing these conspiracy theories, if only she’d meet him properly and she could see for herself that he’s not the creep she’s making him out to be.

“Oh? A sweaty Taehyung you say?” She winks, her tone playful.

“Mmm, where are you going with this?” You chuckle, sending one final email to a client of yours.

Yuri’s bright smile is visible in the corner of your eye, she’s too much sometimes, “What? He’s hot! I’m just pointing out how lucky you are to have two disgustingly rich men stare at you the way they do.”

“Tae doesn’t stare at me,” You scoff, locking your computer, “And Jungkook is allowed to stare at me.” You raise your hand, wiggling your very heavy ring finger with a smirk.

“Oh come on Y/N Taehyung is so… Is sooooo here. Taehyung is here.” Her smile drops into a scowl, your own features contorting with shock when you glance in the direction she’s looking.

Taehyung is stood in your office talking to the main receptionist at the entrance of your floor. His dark hair is tousled and thick when he pushes it back from his face. A navy three piece suit covers his tall frame, he’s holding a couple of brown paper bags you notice. The receptionist spots you and Yuri staring her way through the glass door to your private office, she points at you, and Taehyung turns in place with a wave.

“Look at you two, even wearing matching suits.” Yuri giggles, “Do you want some privacy?”

“No!” You say a little too quickly, still dumbfounded as to why he’s even here, “I mean it’s fine you don’t have to leave. You can stay, you can actually meet him properly and you’ll see he’s not obsessed with me like you keep say—”

“Heyyyy!!! Taehyung right?” Yuri’s loud voice cuts you off when he opens the door, making sure to drown out the sound of you scolding her.

“Hello, yes. You’re Yuri…” He nods once in acknowledgement, striding over to your desk, “Hey Y/N, how are you? I brought a peace offering. You like pork right?” He puts the steaming paper bags down on the surface, the smell of pork belly noodles and soy sauce already winning saliva to form on your tongue.

“Peace offering?” Your brow quirks with a confused smile, “I was never mad at you Tae.”

Glancing past Taehyung’s large body you can see Yuri’s eyes bursting from her skull with a face that silently screams ‘I told you so he definitely has it bad for you I fucking told you so!’. You clear your throat, gesturing for your fiancé’s best friend to sit down on the only empty seat in the room – the one next to his biggest critic, Yuri.

His fingertips pull up the suit trousers he wears at the thighs before he sits, “Right, but I am the reason you’re mad at Kook. I’m really sorry.” He loosens his tie, seemingly relaxed.

You’re shaking your head, all while trying to ignoring Yuri’s not so subtle facial expressions and her mouthing something that looks like ‘did you see that?!’ Thankfully Taehyung hasn’t noticed, since he’s not looked her way once, “No... Jungkook is the reason I was mad at Jungkook, you didn’t have to bring me anything.”

“Okay... Well I’m glad we cleared that up. How are you?”

“I’m good thank you,” You quickly reassure him, “How’re you?”

Taehyung sniffs, cocking his head to one side akin to a shy puppy dog, “I’m good… One of my client’s office is next door, figured I’d stop by and see you for a little bit. Is that okay?”

Oh Yuri. She’s clearing her throat very loudly, very obviously making her presence known since the attorney has apparently forgotten she exists. You bite down on your inner cheek to suppress a grin. She’s something else, her attitude and confidence is something you aspire to have one day. Yuri doesn’t give a shit about upsetting anybody, kind of like the man sitting next to her.

“Of course it’s okay, so this is my assistant Yuri… I don’t think you’ve met before?” You look between them with hopeful eyes. Please don’t make him uncomfortable, you think about Yuri. Please don’t call her slutty to her face, you think about Taehyung.

“Pleasure to meet you properly, Y/N talks about you all the time…”

Your brows hike up your forehead at such speed you’re sure no amount of botox will ever save you from the wrinkle Yuri has just given you.

“Really?” Tae flashes a boxy grin, training his dark feline eyes back to you, you try your best to straighten your face immediately. “All good things I hope?”

Yuri smirks, “Of course! You’re her fiancé’s best friend! And how sweet are you to bring her dinner and make sure she’s eaten?” She’s playing with fire here and she knows it, every line she crosses displaying as another stress wrinkle on your face, “I don’t know anybody who would do that for their friend’s fiancé! So sweet.” She lifts her shoulders, proud that she’s managed to say her piece.

Taehyung tongues his cheek with slightly furrowed brows, “Y/N is my friend too, like I said I was just in the neighbourhood… Shall we eat?”

“Sure.” You choke out, wanting the ground to open up and swallow you whole.

And so the three of you dish out the feast of Chinese food Taehyung has brought to your office, it’s weird, he’s managed to get your order exactly right. Claiming it to be a ‘happy coincidence’ but of course Yuri doesn’t buy it, nor does she keep her scoff to herself when he breaks your wooden chopsticks apart for you and pours your drink. If Taehyung notices he’s kind enough to not say anything, keeping light conversation about pretty mundane things between you all.

“So…” Yuri clears her throat, having just devoured her share of the noodles, “Are you officially Jungkook’s best man for the wedding?”

Taehyung nods, eyeing her curiously, you get the feeling he knows she’s up to something, “Yeah I am, have you found a dress yet Y/N?”

“Mhm, I have another fitting booked in a couple weeks but I’m 99% certain I’ve found the one I want!” You claps your hands together excitedly before your phone lights up on your desk, catching your attention.

“Can I show him? Jimin sent me some pictures of the fitting.”

You’re too busy unlocking your phone to really pay attention to what she’s asking, “Yeah, sure.”

Namjoon: Hey sorry Y/N I forgot to let you know before now, I’ve managed to get some time off work so you don’t need to pick Charles up tonight he’s staying here. Thanks anyway 

Your heart drops into the depths of your stomach. And so it begins. You knew your sister’s return would probably affect the time you spend with your nephew, you just wasn’t expecting it to happen so soon. You miss Charlie, you were looking forward to seeing him tonight. Before you can stop it a dramatic sigh leaves you, winning the attention of Taehyung straight away.

“Are you okay? What’s wrong?”

You nod, feigning a smile, “Yeah no I’m fine. Sorry about that. What were we talking about?”

“Your wedding dress...” Tae’s eyes desperately search your face, you know that he can tell you’re absolutely not fine. But before he can question you further Yuri is shoving her phone screen in his face.

It’s like something from a movie. You watch Taehyung’s eyes light up brighter that the sun, swimming with something indescribable. It’s akin to how women would expect their husbands to look when they first witness them in their dress. His plump lips are parted slightly, brows raised a tiny fraction of what they normally are, long eyelashes dust his cheeks when he blinks. He’s staring. He looks as though he’s in awe of you, and Yuri notices straight away. Did she plan this all along? Was this her way of getting you to see what she sees? Because Taehyung’s gripping her phone now, the black device small and prop-like in his large hands. It’s like nothing else matters to him other than what he’s looking at, it’s like he’s amazed.

“Y/N…” Tae doesn’t look up at you once, “You look… You look stunning.”

You ignore the way Yuri tilts her head to one side, her expression laced with something similar to ‘I was right, you were wrong, look at this’. She clears her throat, prying her phone from the attorney’s grip. “She needs that dress, right?”

“She does.” He’s fast to agree, you watch the Adam’s apple in his throat bob but he’s still not looking directly at you, his eyes for a change are trained to your assistant. “Jungkook is a very lucky man.”

“Funny you should say that…” Yuri snorts with a knowing grin, and there’s a small part of you that wants to punch her in the face for what comes next, “That’s been a very popular opinion of lately, hasn’t it Y/N?”

Taehyung snaps his gaze to you, riddled with panic.

“Cause Jimin said the same thing at the fitting...” Yuri chuckles, finally locking her phone. And the relief that washes over Jungkook’s best friend is undeniable. You’re confused, uneasy, flattered and downright amazed all at once. Is Yuri right? Has she been right all this time? Does Taehyung hold a flame for you? No, surely not.

He’s Jungkook’s best friend. You’re overanalysing his reaction. The two of you are friends, Jimin had a similar expression when he first saw you in your wedding dress and he’s as gay as they come. It doesn’t mean anything. It’s nothing. Nothing. So why does it feel like your heart just skipped a beat?

The man in question flashes you a pained looking, albeit breath taking smile.

“You’re going to be a beautiful bride.”

||Chapter Two

Pairing: 0t7 x reader, mostly Jungkook x reader

Genre: yandere au! serial killer au!

Summary/overview: In order to keep the Kim family from dissolving they must do whatever it takes, including creating a national website dedicated to people just like them, serial killers. Everything was going well until you came along. Until what seemed like a good idea turned into a bad one. An until everyone found out their biggest secret.

After you had told the boys that night what had happened to you in the woods, and what you did, they convinced you that it was best for you to stay there with them, just for a couple days. However, days turned into weeks, weeks turned into months. You started to get depressed, and kind of paranoid. You weren't eating, for fear of being poisoned. You refused to leave the room, scared of what's outside. You made little to no interaction with any of the boys, thinking they may be trying to kill you just like the three men that showed up at your house.

“You really need to leave this room y/n. It’s not good for you”, Taehyung stated. You had grown quite fond of him those past few months. He’s the only one who doesn’t treat you like some welfare case.

“We’ve told you many times. You're not a prisoner. We're just trying to keep you safe, and in order to keep you safe, you need to eat.”

“And I told you guys, I can take care of myself.”

“Princess, I’m not saying that you can’t. I’m just saying that there could be people going after you. Really dangerous people”, Tae tried to explain to you. Although your stay here has been nice, and not once were you treated like a prisoner, you didn’t like the feeling of being dependent on someone. Living with them made you feel like a charity case. It made you feel like their burden.

“Won’t they go after you guys too?”

He laughed.

“Are you worried about us y/n?” He teased you. “Don’t worry. We can protect ourselves, but we can protect you too”. He took a deep breath before saying what's been on his mind since they saw you.

“If you leave, where are you going? Where will you sleep and how are you going to eat?”

You took time to think about it, but you came up with ultimately nothing. You had no family. The abandoned house that you lived in was torn into pieces. If you left, you would be on the streets. Your silence answered his question. He sympathetized, not wanting to see you like this. He wrapped his arms around you, laying his head on your shoulder.

“Can you just please let us– let me take care of you. Just for a little longer”, he asked you. You could do nothing but nod, feeling choked up and the tears in your eyes started to fall. He brought his hands up to your face and wiped away the tears. Then he planted a kiss on your left cheek.

“Now, will you please eat? Jin made it and it’s delicious.”

“She can’t stay here forever, Jungkook.”

“And why not? We are the reason she almost lost her life”, Jungkook retorted. All seven brothers were having a “quiet” meeting about what to do with you. Namjoon felt as though they should kill you, or at least drop you off in the middle of nowhere and hope you don’t come back. Everyone else thought that was completely absurd.

“Namjoon, she's not a threat. She’s just a traumatized girl”, Stated by Yoongi, the most reasonable out of the boys. “She’s all alone Namjoon. Remember when we were the same way? I’m not saying you have to love her, but just don’t shun her.”

Taehyung entered the room. His brothers scolded him for being late.

“So? Why was I called here? I was in the middle of something important”, Taehyung said.

“More like someone important”, said Jungkook annoyingly, rolling his eyes. “What’s your obsession with Y/n anyway Tae? You literally never let me see her.”

“Because you might trigger her. I’m trying to help her forget what happened that night. No offense bro, but you're a breathing reminder.”.

They kept going back and forth until Jimin decided to break it up. “See? This is exactly what Namjoon was talking about. If you guys want her to stay then this bickering better stop immediately”.

“She finally ate today,” Tae announced. They all turned their heads to Tae in complete shock, especially Jin.

“What was it that made her want to eat?” Questioned Jin. “Was it the meal? Something you said?”

Taehyung just sat there smiling sheepishly. Not because he was the one that got you to eat– well it was one reason. It was because of everyone’s reaction. You were warming up to them now, and whether they wanted to admit it or not, it made them feel really good.

You never realized how big their house was. You had decided to get out of your room for once and explore. However, there wasn't too much to explore. Even though the house was huge, almost every single door was locked– except one. The sliding glass door that led to the back yard. The backyard was completely empty. Nothing but green grass and a large oak tree. You could use your imagination though. You pictured a treehouse, a flower garden, and a stone patio with a grill so Jin can barbeque. You pictured a nice fire pit with 8 chairs surrounding it, so all of you can make smores. You even pictured a puppy or two running around, rolling in the green grass.

But it’ll never happen. Do you even want it to happen? You felt kind of guilty thinking about it. When you heard the sound of the door open you snapped back to reality. Jungkook came and sat next to you in the grass.

“What were you thinking about”, he asked you.

“Life, I guess.”

“What do you mean?”

“Sometimes I wish I could live a somewhat normal life. I wish I had a normal childhood, normal parents, a normal education. I never wanted to be homeless, all alone and fending for myself. I always pictured myself going to college, having a nice job. I pictured myself getting married and having kids”. You were laughing as you spoke but Jungkook was not amused. He felt bad for you. And for some reason, he felt guilty– which is extremely rare.

“When I turned 16, my dad took me hunting. We killed a plethora of deer, and when we were done he said ‘this is how you have to be in the real world. Life was never meant to be easy, and no one is going to ever give you anything for free. This is why you must kill to survive.’ You must be willing to do anything to survive.”

Hearing about Jungkook's past made you look at him a little differently. Being so focused on staying alive and how you are going to survive everyday life, you never had the chance to actually talk to people. People like you.

“I think that in some ways, we are kind of similar'', Jungkook added. You agreed silently. Even though you both grew up differently and had many different perspectives on things, there was one thing you could agree on. We all must do anything to survive.

[stormblessed95]

Hellooo, i have a question. Do you have any theory about why JM is blushing so much around JK lately?

Could it be because even though they always had moments in behind the scenes content, they're having more "sus" (i'm sorry, i don't know how to put it) moments, what i mean is that lately they had a lot of moments that make everyone question their relationship, even people who don't consider themselves jkks, you know.

I hope this made sense and i hope this isn't offensive, i feel like i can't explain myself because english is my second lenguage. I'm sorry if you already talked about this too!

Your English is wonderful anon, please don't worry about it. I debated on if I wanted to answer this, not because there is anything wrong with it. But simply because I don't want to be that person who is like "yes, I have theories and I don't want to talk about them yet because it's just theory and we should just enjoy the content" Lmao but it's because i really don't want to talk about them and we should just enjoy the content! At the very least not until maybe the year is over and we get more content. Or maybe not even until memories for 2021 drops. We just don't know enough for me to feel totally comfortable just dropping speculations (because that's all it is) when we have gotten like less than 10 things basically so far total from this blushing era. 😅

Here is what we know, the first time we noticed the uptick in overly happy and blushy Jimin was on JKs Birthday, which was when they filmed the Megtan butter dance. ITS was filmed before that and I haven't noticed any of this from what we have seen so far there. And while we are getting overly happy and blushy Jimin the past few months, we have been seeing at the same time a JK who looks like he just got everything he wanted. Peacocking around like he just won at life. The confidence just bleeds off him. It's the same attitude that he gives off when he continuously wins at games or does something really cool at times too. Such as when all the hyungs bowed to him on run when he beat them all at bowling. He arranged himself with a cocky smirk and basically went "alright proceed" before bursting out in giggles as they did it. It's just a general air of happiness that surrounds him too, mostly this attitude shows up around Jimin.

I know a lot of people think it might be because of your reason. That they released things like the hickey/bite mark stuff and now everyone is paying more attention to them, or it's like oh shit, they all definitely know that this is my boyfriend now which is why he is getting all shy and/or blushy lately. I don't think so personally. I think they knew what they were doing when releasing that footage and I don't think they are shy about it. I mean, they've done lots of other questionable things in front of army before too. And after the DVD dropped, hickey was trending worldwide and kiss mark was trending on Korea. And in the middle of all of that, both JK and JM came online to post random selcas. Essentially saying yes, we did that, we told you about it and we are proud of it. That doesn't strike me as the same behavior to then turn to mush everytime said same boyfriend is so much as around you. They owned it before, very shameless. So I really do think this might be another dynamic shift in their relationship in my personal opinion. I just can't confidently give an opinion on what that shift may or may not be yet. Or if it even is anything at all, really.

Here is what else we know. This isn't the first time we have seen these types of dynamics before from them and I do think it often goes hand in hand with dynamic shifts in their relationship too. Or when JK gets bold as hell with his flirting, but that's a seperate thing. Lol we have seen this type of I've won at life attitude JK and overly happy and blushing JM when they got back from Toyko. For a while after they got back from that Toyko trip, this was exactly the type of behavior we were seeing from them then too

Or flash forward to 2019 when Jimin was given a Minnie hat and fans started shouting for JK to look at Jimin wearing it. He immediately got all flustered and blushing, it was a clear flashback to Toyko memories moment for him lol

This type of easy to fluster attitude very much continued into 2018, but it was not constant like it was when they first got home from Toyko. But every so often we saw it again, like during promotions in 2018 here, JK is talking and looking at Jimin, that's all, and there he goes, looking a little shy and happy again

Or the iconic end of 2018 with MMA and the beautiful moments we got there. Jimin made this EXACT face after whatever it was that JK said to him. Jimin pointing between them with some type of question I would guess, and JK with such a smug look on his face as he said it whatever he said to Jimin that made him immediately blush and look happy. I know what it has been rumored that he possibly said, but it's just lip reading, so I take it with a grain of salt. But whatever it was that he said, it gave us a peak again at these exact dynamics between them and Jimin immediately looking down blushing like he was in all these recent moments and photos above. Plus JK looking at him like he was soooo happy and just heart eyes like crazy too.

So all this to basically say, this is why I think it's possible they might be in the middle of some other dynamic shift, or perhaps just a truly happy moment in time for them, between them, personally. What it is, I don't know. Couldn't tell you. Could it be for any other types of reasons too? Sure, I don't actually know them, all these theories people are throwing around are just that, theories. We don't actually know anything about the reasoning behind their actions. We can guess, but we don't really have much to guess about right now either. Literally only like 2 months of content where we have mostly been seeing things filmed in the summer time before whatever is going on with them. It will be interesting to see how award shows go and what we see there too. So in the end, who knows. But they seem really truly very happy and that's all I want for them honestly. I'm happy that they are happy 💜💜💜 I don't need to always know why.

Thanks for the ask and sorry if it's not exactly the type of answer you were looking for. Hope it helps explain my thoughts a little bit anyway! Hope you all have a good day/night!

How do you feel about people OT7fiying what the members say about specific members? Idk if you know but there’s a post on the bird app receiving lots of support for ot7fying something Jk specifically said to/about Jm. A lot of “OT7”’s are saying it’s not a big deal and making it a shipping issue when it’s not, but guarantee if someone were to make “Friends” that’s about vmin into an all members thing they would be up in arms. Idk I just don’t understand why people can’t see each member as individuals who have their own individual relationships with other members. OT7 will always be good but not when others are constantly ignoring the different and varied relationships between each member. It’s giving very much erasure.

Have you noticed that this happens almost exclusively to Jimin? And usually when it's Jungkook saying it?

It's giving erasure because it could not be more erasure if it was the band. And even they're fully 50% gay (thank you Andy Bell). And while I am on the subject a Jeon-Park-Erasure collab would be MOST welcome in the YSoJiminie house DAMN now I'm gonna have that in my head ALL DAY but I am not minimizing, OH NO, I am just going to write this post with the following in mind (not directed at you, kind and gentle readers):

Thank you for indulging me, anon, it has been a very long few months of hell up in here. The whole reason for all of this is that Jimin specifically threatens homophobes. If they validate Jimin as being attractive to Jungkook or any other member, then they have to allow for the sexuality of that member. And at the heart of it they do not see Jungkook or Taehyung or Namjoon or any other member (with the possible exception of Hobi) as anything other than attracted to women and by extension attracted TO THEM. See where I'm going with this? THIS IS WHY Y/N FANFICTION IS PROBLEMATIC. Let a teenage or very repressed adult person get into heavy breathing mode and they lose all sense of reason regardless of gender or orientation. This is not helpful:

Um, UGH and EWWW and I APOLOGIZE, you have NO IDEA what I had to look through to get the least offensive stuff just NO. And CHILDREN are reading this shit and EMBEDDING IT INTO THEIR PSYCHES LIKE WHAT brb, involuntary bulimia. Good lord I've probably triggered half my readers I AM SO SORRY I SHOULD HAVE POSTED YOONGI THE CAT HERE:

Yoongi loves you and apologizes if any of the above gave you a system headache But, and I feel we must be realistic here, the majority of those erasing Jimin do not identify as non-heterosexual men. Perhaps a very few of them do. And I say this because men who are secure enough in themselves to stan BTS as a whole are generally also secure enough to take one good look at Park Jimin and go "yeah, he's not straight and neither is any man who looks at him long enough." It might be somewhat incorrect, socially, but it's not wrong, exactly. So erasure, it is giving, because erasure is what it is. But I really have a hard time understanding how THIS can be erased:
